Book Description
We live in a parallel universe. Therefore, wherever there’s an upscale neighborhood, there must be a ghetto; and if there is a ghetto, then there is a need for my Ghetto-Logik. This book is the Brooklyn Bridge that connects da hood to lavish neighborhoods. We, as human beings, were designed with identical spiritual, mental, and physical features, along with the divine gift of free will. However, some of us do not fully understand the grandness of our divine privileges, so we subconsciously live our lives less abundant than our original intent or choose not to exercise our gifts, talents, and abilities awarded to us by God.

Book Description
This collection brings into dialogue authors from a range of disciplines and perspectives to address the thorny question of how to balance the demands of «democratic dialogue» with the reality of a world in which each voice does not carry equal weight. Should rules be in place, for example, that correct for such imbalances by privileging some voices or muting others? Should separate spaces be created for traditionally disadvantaged groups to speak only among themselves? Is democratic dialogue in an inclusive sense even a possibility in a world divided by multiple dimensions of power and privilege? Leading theorists from several countries share a concern for social justice and present radically different interpretations of what democracy means for educational practice. In a format unusual for such collections, the essays speak directly to each other about significant moral, philosophical, and practical differences regarding how to effectively engage students as critical participants in classrooms fraught with power and difference. The authors draw from philosophy, critical race theory, sociology, feminist, and poststructural studies to address topics including hate speech, freedom of expression, speech codes, the meanings of silence, conceptions of voice and agency, and «political correctness». They explore honestly and self-critically the troubling and disturbing dimensions of speech and silence that situate the classroom as a volatile microcosm of contemporary political contradictions.

Book Description
In this second novel of his, the author, Ena Eweka, blazes an entirely different trail.....one that unravels some unusual, if otherworldly perceptions or views held of ‘coincidences’, and the travails such perceptions unleash on the paranoid, superstitious mind. The main characters, Tricia and Folake, are each consumed by their own take regarding the ‘coincidence’ phenomenon, and coincidentally, want nothing of it in their respective lives for very different reasons. The paths of both ladies cross, however, and each of them comes to the realization that their continued existence just might depend on how well they understand it, and react every time the phenomenon occurs in relation to each other.
